Hellosir is on a distinguished road
Default Re: Extremely difficult class - stress levels soaring

The thing is the students claim to "love" my lesson apparently, they did a teacher satisfaction survey last semester and out of 30+ students I got an overall rating of 97% (apparently most teachers get 70% and anything above 90% means supposidly means you're too soft) and after class they will say how much they enjoy my lessons, but I just never see the enjoyment when I'm teaching.

I'm thinking it could be down to the fact I'm used to big classes of 40-50, where drama/jokes/ have a bigger impact simply because there are more people. The only other class I have with so few students is Business English, and all those students have a really high level, so it could be down to the fact a) few students b) the 10/24 students I taught last year dampen the mood that the other 14/24 cant really shrug off.

Just to add to the confusion this is a women's college so 95%+ of the students are female.
